Oh, stupid map.
Third Earth should be right here.
Oh, ho, ho. Never fails. One planet left and I'm lost.
Elf nuggets! The fuzz.
Okay. Just be cool.
Merry Christmas Eve, Officer.
-How can I-- -Sir, do you know how fast you were going just now?
Well, I-I have to go pretty fast to deliver all...
Save it, slime wad. I don't care how they do things
in whatever crime-infested cluster of stars you oozed out of.
But this is my jurisdiction and here, nobody is above the law.
Chestnuts to this noise.
We're making a break for it, boys.
This is Agent Mandora requesting all the back up.
I've got a roly poly perp on the run.
Goes by the name, Santa Claus.
["Jingle Bells" instrumental music playing]
Man. I hate this snowy season, Snarf.
More chores. Less adventures.
And I still haven't figured out how to go to the bathroom in this dumb suit.
Happy holidays, ThunderCats.
Thank you, Berbil friends.
I will try to stay happy even though these are hollow days.
Such long, cold, hollow days.
[wind whistling]
-[Berbil 1] Okay. -[Berbil 2] Sounds good.
-That's the spirit. -All right. Let's go see what boring chore
Tygra wants us to do next.
[Santa groaning]
Did you see that, Snarf?
It looked like a spritely old man in a magic sleigh
being pulled by eight flying reindeer. It's an evil snow wizard.
-Let's go beat him up. -[meowing]
[groaning]
Halt, wizard.
You picked the wrong planet to crash your wizard chariot into.
Because now you face Lion-O,
sworn protector of Third Earth.
For the love of milk and cookies.
Is everyone in this quadrant... Wait, did you say Third Earth?
-That's right. -Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. I made it. Christmas can still be saved.
Christmas? I don't know what that is,
but it sounds horrible and I hate it.
No, no, no, Lion-O,
Christmas is a magical time of goodwill and cheer. A time--
Oh, cool. Christmas sounds amazing.
I will defend it with my life.
-That was easy. -You sold me on goodwill and cheer.
Those are two of my favorite intangible concepts.
Plus, I just saw your sleigh is full of my favorite tangible concept.
Presents!
Oh, no. My sleigh. My Robo-Reindeer.
If I don't complete all my deliveries by sunrise,
Third Earth will lose its Christmas magic forever.
No more Christmas?
The thing I just learned about
and love more than anything?
That cannot happen.
Me and my friends will help you, Santa.
Oh, but I haven't told you everything.
I ran into this scary lady on a flying motorcycle out in space,
-and she's coming for me. -Oh, that doesn't sound so bad.
[machines whirring]
Attention sentient life-forms of Third Earth.
The Interplanetary Control Force has tracked
a dangerous fugitive by the name of Santa Claus to your planet.
Oh, Mandora. Yeah that's bad.
Third Earth will be on planetary lockdown
until a full sweep has been conducted.
Be advised that anyone found harboring criminals
with bellies resembling bowls full of jelly will be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.
Well, probably won't affect us.
[screaming]
[whimpering]
This ain't good. How are we gonna get my sleigh past them
with my reindeer all busted?
Don't worry, Santa. I can guide your sleigh tonight.
I have mastered the stealthy art of
classical ballet.
-I thought you were gonna say "ninjutsu." -Nijinsky?
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" playing]
[laughs] We made it. Looks like our troubles are over for...
[gasps] Mandora!
-[unintelligible mumbling] -[unintelligible mumbling]
Jingle toots.
You're not lying to me, are you?
Whenever something is going down on this planet
-you Thunder Oafs are usually involved. -Not this time. I promise.
We see this Santa guy, we're calling you.
Good.
How great is this?
Mandora is here to arrest someone and it's not us.
Tygra, this is my new best friend, Santa. And Mandora's after him,
and we need to help him deliver all the presents
or Christmas magic will be gone forever!
[groans] Lion-O, what are you thinking?
Mandora is looking for that guy.
Do you want to get us all thrown back into space jail?
-Of course not. I-I just-- -No discussion.
Let's just call Mandora, tell her we have Santa
and pray she goes easy on us.
Please. I have to deliver these presents tonight
to help keep Christmas magic alive.
You see Christmas is a magical time,
a time of goodwill and cheer. A time...
Wait? Goodwill and cheer?
I'm all about goodwill and cheer.
You guys are not hard to win over.
We all agree that goodwill and cheer are great.
But is Christmas worth breaking the law over?
Oh, ho, Tygra, Tygra, Tygra.
Perhaps this will convince you.
Ho, ho, ho. You see, ThunderCats...

There you go, Santa. Better than new.
How wonderful, Panthro.
You know you're almost as good at building as my elves.
Some punk elves think they're better than me?
Uh, I can fix that.
Whoa, y'all better hurry.
It's starting to look real bleak out there.
[sobbing]
[coughs] I am sad.
All right, everyone. The sun rises at 6:00.
That gives us two hours to get all these presents delivered.
A whole planet in just two hours?
I've never moved that fast before.
Well, you've never worked with the ThunderCats before.
You're right, Lion-O. Let's save Christmas.
-ThunderCats, ho, ho, ho. -Yeah. That's kinda my thing, dude.
[nervous laugh] Oopsie. Hiya.
Coming up on the Bolkin village. Take her low.
I got this one. [grunts]
[all] Hurray!
-Berbil Village. Dead ahead. -No problem.
Santa came.
And he brought the greatest gift of all.
Stuff we can rebuild.
[grunts]
[snoring]
Here we go.
Huh?
Oh!
Hmm?
[all cackling]
Hmm.
[giggling]
He's close...
Target identified.
[beeping]
Sunrise is in ten minutes
and we only have one house to go.
We're gonna make it. Ho, ho, ho!
-[sirens wailing] -Pull the sleigh over now.
-We gotta turn ourselves in. -No.
Christmas isn't saved until we've delivered every last gift.
Hiya.
[gasps] Almost there...
[all scream]
Get this present to that house. Do whatever it takes.
I'm on it, Santa.
[grunts] Uh-oh.
Ha, ha.
Gotcha. Huh?
[meowing]
-What's this? A present for me? -[purrs]
Mr. Bottom Dollar. Oh. It's exactly what I wanted.
-Snuggles. -[purring]
-Going so soon? -[meowing]
Oh. You're helping Santa save Christmas.
[chuckles]
I've been there. Good luck, Mr. Bottom Dollar.
-[meowing] -Oh. That is adorable.
[meows]
I knew you oafs were lying to me.
Technically, we didn't lie-
Technically you're going to spend New Years in jail. The next 500 New Years.
I know you're mad, Mandora.
But we had to save Christmas.
Chris-mass?
You've never had a Christmas.
That's why you're so angry.
Well, Mandora, let me explain.
Christmas is a magical time.
A time of goodwill and cheer, a time--
Wait, goodwill and cheer?
Yes, Mandora. Now you get it. Now you... Oh.
Goodwill and cheer do not excuse lawbreaking.
-Nothing does. -Oh, no.
Don't be sad, Santa. We saved Christmas for Third Earth.
I know. But I'm realizing,
the only people on Third Earth
who didn't get to enjoy it, are you ThunderCats.
[sighs]
Since I'm not on the clock, Merry Christmas, oafs.
["Jingle Bells" instrumental playing]
Wow. I guess in the end, Mandora saved Christmas.
I don't really see how that...
-Woo-hoo! Merry Christmas, everybody. -[all] Hooray!
Keep it down or I'll put you all in separate cells.
